    I heard him hinting on one of his radio shows of late how it was going to be tight to present the LLS, get to his bed, sleep, get up and make it to CP in time for the climb.

    He neglected to say he was getting a lift in a helicopter. Perhaps he didn't know at that time, but I doubt it.

    Hmm, interesting your referring to the major Hack on this site 🤔, want to tell us more 😏

    Even if the helicopter company wanted to take part surely the only person who should have been flown there was Charlie Bird, not Tubs.

    And if stubs had any decency (or his “trademark kindness”) surely he’d offer his seat to Bird?

    Or perhaps decline the offer and say thank you for the gesture but I’ll get up early and drive, and perhaps you could make a financial donation instead?

    He deserves nothing positive said about him.

    He's hijacked this event

    He absolutely didn't get any ball rolling (apart from his own)

    Good Guy 🤣 are you related .

    Your talking complete claptrap and can easily choose to ignore this and any similar thread that doesn't fall over itself praising and worshipping a shameless , arrogant , patronising and immensely smug clown .

    “LeBron GOAT” is a username created by someone who is clearly taking shots at me btw for those of you wondering who or what they are and where they’ve sprung from.

    it’s a bit bizarre really to call people losers and headbangers here, yet stalk my posts in another forum and create a username they think will upset me…..ok dude….or dudette….🙄



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,586 ✭✭✭KevRossi


    I'll place a fiver on it tomorrow that Tubs will get 'choked'/'highly emotional'/'tearful' on the wireless tomorrow morning, talking about his 'Bestie', Charlie Bird.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 480 ✭✭Kildare1976


    Exactly my point.

    If he couldn't make it on time due to work commitments on Friday night, do a local climb, create some buzz around it, let the money his trip would cost go to charity and also have some self awareness of the cost to the environment for such a self indulgent trip.

    He could have done a climb local to him but then he couldn't have his gob stuck in every possible photo with Charlie Bird.

    So that wouldn't do.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 19,340 ✭✭✭✭elperello


    It's the best part of 3.5 hours drive from SoCoDu to Murrisk.

    So to make it in time for a mid morning start you'd need to be giving yourself at least 4 hours to get there loosen up and tog out.

    That would mean leaving at say 6.30 after getting home from LLS at say midnight.

    I'd say tight is putting it mildly.

    Ignore this individual, clearly set up a trolling account and let slip they are aware of incidents that affected this site months ago, so clearly someone acting the maggot and using a new account to attack posters , not their posts. Appropriate user name though, Goat 😁

    Very curious that since the news broke about Turbidy's helicopter ride, the Tubs appreciation society out in force defending the indefensible 🤔🤔👀👀

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 480 ✭✭Kildare1976


    Ah thank you! Appreciate the heads up... I literally only joined tonight as I had seen the thread some time ago and looking at the atrocious carry on from Tubridy this weekend I just wanted to pitch in.

    Thansk a mill 😊



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,028 ✭✭✭✭ButtersSuki


    So don’t do it then.

    Or do a local climb.

    Or get a lift in a car/bus and sleep on the way.

    There were lots of alternatives to taking a helicopter!!!!!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,561 ✭✭✭StevenToast


    A Tubridy supporter...you are most welcome here....

    Its not a surprise to see your kind in existence...a representative of the dancing mothers around the kitchen listening to tubridy.....

    It shouldnt come as a surprise to posters of this thread......but I think official Ireland cant see past the fraud and the majority in the country dont seem to mind the "toy man".....

    But those with a more nuanced view of the world can see past the "kindness facade", we see the falseness and fake drivel served up by tubridy for 500k a year....

    This helicopter jaunt is just the tip of the iceberg......

    You and your kind view Tubridy as your better...like a brit does with a royal.....you are truly a "Good Egg"....

    As for me, well im just a bad egg troll who cant physically stomach looking at finger pointy self indulgent pictures of tubridy....

    We see a lot of this cowardly trolling unfortunately across various Threads and forums .

    But was he or anyone for that matter required to be at the summit at a particular time or perhaps was it just about making it in time for the photo opportunities (and my god he grabbed them).

    I travelled from Rural Laois to Swords for work for almost 3 years back at a time before the concept of a bypass existed.

    I don't think it too much to expect Tubs or anyone "Genuinely " interested in making the climb to drive to Croagh Patrick to partake, I actually know a number of people who travelled from Dingle, Cork, Dublin and Donegal and on the day in question. I equally know people who travelled up the day before by Train.

    I suppose the whole idea of him going was to publicly support the charitable endeavor.

    Not much point turning up at the summit when everyone is gone home.

    That was tough going for you.

    At the end of the day we all know our limitations. I know I wouldn't be up for the kind of timetable I outlined above.

    If I was facing that and Barry McGuigan said "come on pal I'll get you a lift in helicopter" I'd jump at it.

    I reckon most on here would too truth be told.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 480 ✭✭Kildare1976


    You're right, most would probably jump at it, including me.

    But he needs to have a little more self awareness as the host of a flagship radio show on the national broadcaster.... Preaching about the environment and the cost of living etc... The rest of us however would not be communicating that message to hundreds of thousands of listeners after said trip.


    And if the point was to publicly support the endeavour, he had already done so in promoting it on TV and radio in advance. I'm sure Charlie would have known just how much support he had.

    He could have shown support by joining a local climb and providing a bit of buzz elsewhere as they had been, to their credit, encouraging people to do the climb in other locations.

    Anyway.. The great news is lots of money raised for a tremendous cause and it was so beautiful to see Charlie and his wife Claire reach the top. What an achievement and it must have been such a motivator to have that ambition ahead of him. He is and his wife are truly inspiring. I wish them the very best.

    The helicopter in the photo,G-OYNX, is owned by ORCHID HOMES LTD Bray Co.Wicklow. Must be the oul developer connection

    Every great country needs a national broadcaster and RTE is one of the greatest national broadcasters in the whole of the world.


    RTE nurtures young talent which matures to legend.


    Examples are countless like RT.


    RTE gives the weak and downtrodden a voice and RT is a great man for letting the simple folk of Ireland air their grievences and excudes a kindness for the unwell.


    He gives selflessly of himself to promote their charities working tirelessly night and day on their behalf.


    RTE is home to the greatest chatshow in the history of broadcasting.

    The LLS has been copied by many other broadcasters but never has been emulated.


    Our national broadcasters are playing in the premiership and are worth every cent they earn.

    In fact they are very badly paid if you consider that it is a 24/7 job - sometimes helicopters have to be used in order to be at the service of their fans and to do great acts of charity.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,586 ✭✭✭KevRossi


    Just had a look through Charlie Birds Twitter feed, going back a few months.

    Nowhere is Tubridy mentioned or thanked. Seems the mutual friendship is very one way.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 19,340 ✭✭✭✭elperello


    Yes, just imagine it on a lovely day like yesterday going for a spin across the country in a helicopter with Barry McGuigan.

    We would all love it.

    I'm not sure about the self awareness etc. stuff if he was just doing what we would all do given half a chance.

    I suppose he had already done a lot to support the climb and could have done a local walk but as I recall he jumped in at the start and said he'd do CP so maybe backing out wouldn't be right.

    Agree fully re. Charlie and Claire.

    Exactly.

    And I agree, Tubridy could easily have completed a climb somewhere local to him. But then he would not be stuck in every possible photo with Charlie Bird. And that would not do.

    Self awareness is an alien concept to Tubridy, unfortunately. He has an unerring 'ability' to make absolutely everything about himself. Even something like this which is an amazing achievement by someone else, suffering a terminal illness - he has managed to hijack the occasion. It's actually disgusting to see.

    But it (he) should not be allowed to take from what Charlie has achieved, nor from what he is going through.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,079 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    Will be interesting to see if the helicopter is mentioned in his riff tomorrow morning.

    In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see him take the day off to recharge after all his efforts.

    NK busy posting bullsh1t tonight on soc media sites, but I suppose he must earn his crust. Helicopters don’t pay for themselves.

    I have to confess to having taken 2 helicopter lessons. Frightfully expensive things, very very rewarding to hack it. The lessons were gifts, providing me with cherished memories.
